Zuhair Murad ~ Fall 2015 Couture Collection

EN:

When you think about a galaxy, the Milky Way, for example, how do you imagine it? Like a woman, a fairy on whose dress is made of planets? Well, this is how the Lebanese couturier, Zuhair Murad, imagined it. And it’s not the first time the designer uses the mysteries of the cosmos as inspiration for his collections (he did this in his debut collection and several times after that). Murad once said that he likes the idea of “traveling through the heavens” and this reflects perfectly in his creations.

The couture collection for this fall consisted of 48 evening wear pieces which built up the designer’s universe. The show opened with a beautiful black dress with train. Its details were absolutely breathtaking: some sparkling little planets made of embroidery and sequins. More embroideries and sequins followed, together with billions of crystals. As colors Murad mainly used black, white and shades of blue and red. The collection ended respecting the tradition of couture which says that the piece of resistance is a bridal gown. This one weighed not less than 20 kilos and had a train splayed with about 10,000 crystals of various sizes and shapes.

Zuhair Murad is one of my favourite fashion designers and I admire him (like all the other couturiers) for the hard work as (you may already know) ‘Haute Couture’ means clothes made by hand, so every single detail of these dresses is hand-stitched. I cannot say I have a particular favourite piece from this collection, as I like every single one of them so, I suggest you take a look at the pictures below or (better) watch the video from the show.
